What about vives most popular headset? (The google cardboard)

its wild how in like, 2016-2018 they were the kings of VR, with all the biggest youtubers hopping on the vive

Did not realize vive made so many headsets

I don’t even know how a small content creator can spend so much on content this is such a good channel

Been a while 🤪 Discord: discord.com/invite/7yyNUmGwxC X: twitter.com/josaltvr?lang=en

I had no idea the OG Vive had a pass through cam! Wow, that's very ahead of its time.

This was such a wonderfully done video. I started on the og vive and I hold a lot of nostalgia for it. VR was just so new and exciting at the time. The music choice especially in the video was so perfect. Slow gentle ambience, it reminds me a lot of VR back in the day. I don’t quite know how to describe it. Thankyou for investing your time into going through each vive headset, after the og vive I went to the index and never got to tryout a lot of htc’s other offerings.

I remember my Vive. Used the thing till it almost broke then gave it to my friend who used it till the headset and both controllers stopped working. A very flawed but amazing headset.

i was actually searching up the history of vive with all the vive headsets and there werent any vids about them, UNTIL NOW! TYSM!

excellent video. underrated channel. i can only imagine i found this because i started using my vive again to compare it to quest 3. keep it up man

Finally someone actually recognizes the other Vive headsets besides the OG Vive.

I still playing vr on first htc vive and this headset is still compatible with new games (except Bonelab , this game needs valve controllers which I already bought) , so it shows that first htc vive is very good headset

man, you just do the best vr content, like, just keep going please

This was a Great Video! Really shows how Vive relied on Valve for the original Vive.

been waiting for this one!

dude this video is amazing ur channel is so underrated

Great video! The Vive Pro with the wireless add on was my go to. Swapped the wands out for index controllers when those came out and it lasted me until I switched to the Quest 3. I definitely regret how much I spent on that sucker though.

Great video! Just FYI, the Vive Pro 2 has a big rang of other issues. Just like the Focus 3 (same optical design), it oversaturates colors, so that they look completely wrong. On top of that, the stereo overlap is eye strain inducing, as it is at 70° or sth, compared to the 90° of the Vive Pro. Also, it dynamically reduces brightness to reduce heat, and if you turn this awful feature off, the headset overheats to the point of the displays breaking.

Love this video! Would love to see it done with other variations of headsets, like Oculus for example. Heck, even with other devices (like Gaming consoles) I think a series similar to this would be super entertaining.

your video's are so much fun to watch. i learned some cool things from this video, even though i have no headset (my family is poor). i normally get bored from 30 minute video's, but i never got bored of this one.

I love this series!

My first headset was the HTC vive that I had for about 5 years and played hl:a and boneworks at that time. At some point in time, I switched the vive controllers with the index ones before doing a full switch to the valve index. Switching between the two is a massive improvement

Oh,finally some good VR content. This is history of VR,good to know what we came from,and what we came through

The video I’ve been waiting for

FINALLY I WUZ WAITIN FOR THIS VID

this guy is all over my recommended doing literally everything W channel

>Gets to vive pro eye, doesn't use it for anything other than neos (it can be used for eye tracking in VRchat, ChilloutVR, and Resonite aka neos's successor), doesn't use face tracker addon (understandable, those are harder to get than the pro eye itself these days, also isn't bundled with the pro eye) >Still puts it at top of list :o

I have Covid and didn't notice this video was an hour long, thank you for keeping me distracted 😆

Nice vid, you demonstrate why HTC has a confusing line up. I had no idea they had so many different versions of the Vive. Have you tried the PSVR2?

this guys awesome just honest opinions and solid reviews 🔥🔥

Amazing video showing the evolution of vive, I wonder what the future of their headsets will look like.

as a vive pro 2 owner, combining it with the index controllers is like heaven

This really feels like a labor of love video and I love it!

This is really calming, I don't know why.

Awesome comparison between all the HTC headsets! I had the original HTC Vive, bought it used. Kept it a few years then sold it maybe 2 years ago. I ended up getting a Pimax Crystal after building a much beefier PC to support the resolution. I'll say the resolution of the HTC Vive was low enough my old gaming laptop could drive it just fine. But man, the screen door effect was always present. I like flight sims, and reading the gauges was always difficult unless you got up close. So I waited until a much higher res HMD came along where that wouldn't be such an issue, thus the Crystal. I knew HTC made quite a few headsets, but didn't realize they made 11! My first Android phone was a HTC DROID Incredible, good little phone.

If you still have the Vive Pro or Vive Pro Eye lying around there is a popular mod to swap the lenses with GearVR lenses, and the screens with Samsung Odyssey+ screens. Cuts down a ton on the glare and screen door effect.

Awesome video, really shows a tale of a company who made something great, then forgot what made them great, then remembered at the last moment…when it was too late (Vive Pro 2). Their phones feel the same way tbh. I remember using the og Vive when it came out and was so impressed with it…then they got steamrolled by their competition

another great video

S tier video as always

hey josalt how do you feel about the rift and vive screen looks like? are they almost the same? just the overall experience not the small detail different. i got a vive kit without link box so i can't see it myself but i do have a working rift kit

Im thinking of buying an OG vive to replace my oculus quest 2 as it has been giving me a lot of problems recently and I'm thinking of getting in to PCVR. I found a full kit at my local CeX for just over £100 GBP. Is it worth it or should I save up for something better such as a valve index?

what how is this so underrated

This is amazing. I loved the Oculus one. This one's the same! I'm so jealous of you, lol.

I am using the htc vive for abt 4 years now and i did actually get used to the controllers. i absolutely love this headset and i cant imagine what would have been if i hadnt bought it.

7:24 I love the HTC Veev

Nice informative video mate. I've owned 3x Vive headsets over the last 5yrs; OG Cosmos, Vive Pro1, and XR Elite. My OG Cosmos has been packed away a long time ago thanks to poor tracking. My Preordered XR Elite went back for a refund because I never could get wireless PCVR to work as well as my Quest Pro. Too bad, because it was nice and comfy. I still have and use my +4.5yo VP1 (with 2x2.0 base stations, Etsy Gear VR lens mod, and Index controllers). This headset still works well and night flying in sims like msfs2020 and playing darkish games is very nice. However, the SDE is a lot more than I'd like and even with a lot of super sampling thanks to my rtx4090, the clarity is nowhere near as good as my QPro and Q3. I never bothered getting a VP2 because of its lack of oled, together with fresnel lens that could not be upgraded like my VP1 w/Etsy lens mod. Maybe wishful thinking but I'm hoping in the near future to see a Vive Pro3 with high res micro-oled screens and pancake lens. Also hopefully in a bit smaller form factor. If Vive doesn't come out with something like this I think that their days in PCVR may likely be coming to an end. Time will tell I guess. Anyway, thanks again for your vid mate and best cheers from the GC.

finally, normal microphone on the focus 3

Why aren't you more popular I love your videos❤

honestly that flip up headset feature looks cool so. often do i take my headset off and drink water/wipe off the condensation on the lens. flip up would make that so much faster

damn bro finally uploaded

i have the oculus quest 2 with the link cable and its amazing its not bad i recomend for someone who wants to play pc vr you might has well just buy the link cable and you get a very good pcvr experience

have you kept all the headsets from both oculus/meta and vive videos?

Good day when josalt posts

The editing is just getting better and better! Good job josalt!

It's amazing how often you can screw up the micro on HMDs. So now not just with HTC HMDs but also with various others. Somehow, so far only Valve has managed to install a really good microphone🤔

Love this ❤

39:48 That is called chromatic aberration and is in basically every vr headset. However, some headsets are better at making it less noticeable than others.

this video makes me want to buy a pro 2, i love it

can definitely vouch for the base stations being not the most reliable... one of them is broken so i can only look one way or i lose all tracking lmao. it works out for the games i play at least?

Haven't watched the full video but i had the og vive i bought it used in early 2019 and probably have close to 1k hrs in steamvr (steamvr server never closes so it says i have over 5k hrs) The base stations are still working fine i have them set to always on.

i like the touchpad over any joystick, because you can be perfectly accurate on where you move your finger on the touchpad, unlike a joystick that is highly compacted and squished together so its harder to get an accurate position

Wow. That's a lot of headsets. Didn't know they did that.

deffinitly agree with your rating

Dog, what the heck happened with the pro eye microphone? That headset seems to suck in general, from the hand and eye tracking to the microphone, to even trying to buy it. Also i love the video!

I love these kinds of videos :)

Lit Ong fr skibidi

I have the HTC vive pro 2 and when you get everything setup it is so good and really good for gtag but if you are getting the pro 2 get valve index controllers but the pro 2 is the best headset

Great video Do you think og htc vive is good option to get to steam vr for cheap?

Great video, can you do a video like this one but about the chinese vr headsets?

i have a vive pro and i love it its comfy its well balanced the resolution is fine. but the controllers... they do they job (most times) but are not great any more. i want some knuckels but man there pricey. great vid btw

wow just in time to be the 100th comment! im thinking of getting the valve index, reckon i can get one? or is it pretty tough since we live in australia

to be honest after seeing this getting a used htc vive 1gen with a gear vr mod seems like an insane deal

you should try the microsoft tape (Windows mixed reality lenovo explorer held together by tape)

Cool!

another banger. I have no idea how you can afford all these headsets though XD

Review every Pico headset

this is super interesting stuff

I owned a Vive 1. I really wanted a Pro, but couldn't justify the price. I now own a Quest 3 and just either SteamLink play the Meta exclusives on that. I've never seen anything past the Pro, but I've heard of the Cosmos. HTC really couldn't hold up their quality past their second rendition and that's kinda sad.

this is the best youtuber ever

Wow all these games on every headset look really good considering I only have a quest 2

peak as always

I know it might not go viral as much but I would love to see a video like this from PSVR1 and PSVR2, even if there are only 2 of them hahaha

w video love it

I feel kinda bad for HTC because they had such a good hold on VR technology back when the Vive came out originally but they just never tried to improve and invent new things so every headset after that was basically the same thing and it had the same issues as the ones before them

14:09 am i the only one who heard the Memehub community intro?

Vive Pro was HTCs last good HMD in my opinion lol. I've returned every other HTC Vive Product since then.

I love the VIVE cosmos there’s was gonna be a htc VIVE cosmos play and when it was supposed to release it was gonna be 500$ and there was supposed to be a htc VIVE cosmos XR but it never came it was gonna be wireless.

You should make a video on phone vr headsets XD

is the biggest thing to be able to get into vr is to have a good PC?

Been sticking with my Pro Eye for 3 years now because nothings been worth upgrading to

the htc vive was my first headset i ever had, and now it is broken :( but edleast i have a quest 3 to replace it now

im kinda confused dont they have the index too? (i know nothing about pcvr headsets)

vivefries would love this

You should buy every SteamVR headset after this! Index, Beyond, Pimax, etc

Pimax next!

Awesome video, very informative! Seems like every HTC headset is way overpriced for what they're able to do, compared to Meta's headsets that can do everything the HTCs can do for much less money, just with lower resolutions. And they can't seem to be able to get the tracking down on their headsets that feature built in tracking quite like Meta can.

also use virtual desktop to use the headset as a monitor, it'll let you do all the things you say you want steamvr to do (because spoiler alert: steamvr will never do that, because it's not the god damn point, it's literally just meant to be the interface between your computer and it's software, and your VR headset, that's it, the fact it does the desktop at all is just for things like games that may have a desktop window to change settings, and stuff like that)

W VIDEO :)

Do one video covering the valve index in 2024 please!

You should do a Rift S in 2024 review
